        # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

        # The loopback interface
        iface lo inet loopback

        # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian 
installation
        # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)

        iface eth0 inet static
                address 192.168.1.1
                netmask 255.255.0.0
                network 192.168.1.0
                broadcast 192.168.1.255

        iface eth1 inet static
                address 208.33.90.85
                netmask 255.255.255.0
                network 208.33.90.0
                broadcast 208.33.90.255
                gateway 208.33.90.84

        #iface tunl0 inet6 v4tunnel
        #       address
